The DAEDALUS AADS 1268 is a multispectral line scanner with 11 spectral channels and 716 pixels per line. This paper presents a post-flight calibration method to correct the data for dependence of the detector sensitivity on the scanning angle. An area has to be found where only neglegible BRDF effects are expected across the principle plane for zenith angles smaller than the maximum scanning a...

Runway length is usually a critical point in an airport system so, a great interest has been created for optimal use of this runway length. The most important factors in modeling of aircraft landing problem are time and cost while, the costs imposed on the system because of moving away from target times have different performances in terms of impact. In this paper, firstly, aircraft landing pro...

This paper aims to design an automated Global Reporting Format’s (GRF) application in order reduce time of manual (on a runway) the Format developed by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). A method has been used measure and generate Runway Condition Report (RCR) automatically. The computing model is autonomous automatic implemented specially for West Africa (and can be extended any...

The research problem considered in this thesis was presented by NATS, who are responsible for the take-off runway scheduling at London Heathrow airport. The sequence in which aircraft take off is very important and can have a huge effect upon the throughput of the runway and the consequent delay for aircraft awaiting take-off. Sequence-dependent separations apply between aircraft at take-off, s...

Significant delays and resulting environmental impacts are commonly observed during departure operations at major US and European airports. One approach for mitigating airport congestion and delays is to exercise tactical operations planning and control with an objective to improve the efficiency of surface and terminal area operations. As a subtask of planning airport surface operations, this ...

Effect of ondansetron (5-HT3-receptor antagonist) was studied on the working memory deficits induced by scopolamine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist in rats using a three-panel runway apparatus. Varying doses of scopolamine (0.1-0.56mg/kg, ip) were administered alone or in combination with ondansetron (0.01-1.0 mg/kg, ip) and memory errors and latency period of the session were recorded on a t...

of the PhD‐Thesis “Architectures for Embedded Multimodal Sensor Data Fusion Systems in the Robotics – and Airport Traffic Surveillance – Domain” submitted by Janis Schönefeld In this work an architecture for embedded multi sensor data fusion is proposed that allows the application tracking algorithms in areas requiring an efficient reliable hardware tracking solution, like airport ...

This paper introduces an integrated framework and software platform that uses a three layer approach to modeling complex systems. The multi-layer PRA approach implemented in IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) combines the power of Event Sequence Diagrams and Fault Trees for modeling risk scenarios and system risks and hazards, with the flexibility of Bayesian Belief Networks for modeling...

By considering the features of the airport runway image filtering, an improved bilateral filtering method was proposed which can remove noise with edge preserving. Firstly the steerable filtering decomposition is used to calculate the sub-band parameters of 4 orients, and the texture feature matrix is then obtained from the sub-band local median energy. The texture similar, the spatial closer a...
